Book Review - Something Happened In Our Town: A Child's Story About Racial Injustice

Something Happened In Our Town: A Child's Story About Racial Injustice



About the Book
Something Happened in Our Town describes a traumatic event—a police shooting—from the perspective of a White family and an African American family. This story models productive conversations around racial-ethnic socialization and social-emotional learning, and provides an excellent platform for discussing social justice and race relations with children. Includes a “Note to Parents and Caregivers” with conversation guides, child-friendly vocabulary, and lists of related resources.


 
My Take on the Book
This is a great book that has a powerful story that is written to help have some good conversations with your kids about what happens. This is the type of book that all teachers should share with their students. The more students that read this and learn about scenarios like this the more that our society may be able to change in the future!
